Commentary
(14 x 9 cm). Exemplaire répertorié dans l’ouvrage de Francis Cévènes: LA FRANC-MAÇONNERIE A LA BELLE ÉPOQUE par la carte postale. D’après l’ouvrage de Francis Cévènes, “les cartes montrent les décorations murales de l’ancien local de la loge Etienne Dolet prises pendant la démolition. L’intérêt de ces cartes est de nous faire découvrir le décor de ce temple tel qu’il existait à l’époque et d’en mesurer la perception qu’en avait le monde profane. Elles alimentèrent la propagande antimaçonnique”.
(14 x 9 cm). example listed in the work of Francis Cévènes: FREEMASONRY IN THE BELLE ÉPOQUE by the postcard. According to the work of Francis Cévènes, “the cards show the wall decorations of the former premises of the Etienne Dolet lodge taken during the demolition. The interest of these cards is to make us discover the decoration of this temple as it existed at the time and to measure the perception that the profane world had of it. They fueled anti-Masonic propaganda.”

Historical background
FREEMASONRY
The compass and the square are very often associated in an ambivalent symbol of balance: fixity and mobility, passive and active, matter and spirit.. The compass is the tool of the Creator and of the great Architect of the Universe. The spacing of the branches of the compass obeys precise rules and varies according to the three degrees: apprentice, companion, master. The Napoleonic era, in the activity of lodges as in that of many groups, saw a flowering after the terrible years of the revolutionary period. Masonic activity, rid of its republican theories and firmly controlled by a Grand-Master appointed by the Emperor, experienced a vigor in unity never found since.. It is considered that each regiment, each garrison, each city had its Lodge. The testimonies that the sumptuous tokens of the period leave us show that these lodges were rich and influential.. The symbolism is sought after, without comparison with the later eras, which were much more conventional, even bland or destitute at the beginning of the 20th century.. Freemasonry had more than a thousand lodges spread over one hundred and thirty departments and more than sixty thousand Brothers.
